Apparently Soylent doesn't contain much of either soy or lentils. It's a weird way to name a product. Sort of like making a fruit juice called "BeefPork".

(I know the name is a movie reference. Still doesn't make sense to me.)

It should, since you recognize the reference, and the name fits perfectly. For me, Soylent Green pretty much the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about this type of product.
